Demonstrating the unorthodox--but effective--technique that seems to baffle his opponents, McNerney thundered back from a 4-3 deficit to scrap for the convincing triumph. As many opponents have discovered this year, he proved just how difficult he is to control, scoring three escapes as Lynch seemed to tire...

Jettisoning a young family and comfortable life in Boston, Swan followed the feverish impulse to scrap it all and go west. From 1858 until his death in 1900 he inhabited the Olympic Peninsula, beaching his canoe in Neah Bay or Port Townsend most of the time, trekking about as loiterer, notary public, drunk, author, woodcarver, schoolteacher, friend and student of Makah Indians, explorer, correspondent and collector for the Smithsonian, sketcher, hokumist, unsuccessful lover, misfit entrepreneur, and most of all, perpetual journal-scribbler...
